Recurring Tips On STEEM, The Guide (Yes, Tips Are Real Now)
The rewards on the STEEM blockchain are directly tied to the inflation that fills the rewards pool. In other words, you allocate rewards to somebody with your vote, proportionally to your Steem Power. Until now, that is.
There is a new way to distribute rewards in the STEEM network, which is more like recurring tipping, and it works in parallel with and completely decoupled from voting.
Introducing @tipu subscription service!
TL/DR version
This works pretty much like how BAT (the Basic Attention Token) works: you allocate a certain amount of STEEM / SBD for tips (this is basically setting up a deposit) and then subscribe to users you like with a certain amount that will be deducted from your deposit every time they post.
Long Version
- set up a deposit by sending the desired amount to @tipu with the memo
deposit(this deposit will give you shares in @tipu's profits, so you will get back a tiny portion of this deposit every day) - when you find an author that you want to support by sending funds from that deposit every time he / she posts, issue this comment on one of the author posts:
!subscribe - by default, the subscription is set at 0.5 (SBD or STEEM, depending on what you have as the deposit). If you want to change that, pass the tip amount after the command, like this:
!subscribe 0.1
This wasn't long at all, I was kidding.
Anyway, I already went through this whole process, with @raluca, and here's an (even more) detailed flow:
1. Set up a deposit by sending 100 STEEM to @tipu, with the memo deposit
After just a few seconds, I got this message back:
2. Subscribe to a user by commenting with !subscribe amount
In this case, the amount was 1 STEEM, and the user was @raluca:
Again, after a few seconds of posting this comment, I got a reply confirming the subscription:
And the first tip was confirmed in @raluca's wallet:
3. Monitor my subscriptions in the wallet (yes, I made another one to @vikthor)
So, there you have it.
Kudoz to @cardboard, the creator of @tipu and this service. I encourage you to use subscriptions to support your favorite writers.
Steem on!

I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards |
Hey, thanks for writing about it! :)
By all means, my pleasure, it's a good project! Keep it up! And thanks for the vote from @tipu, appreciated it :)
This post contained some typos in its mentions that have been corrected in less than a day. Thank you for your quick edit !
If you found this comment useful, consider upvoting it to help keep this bot running. You can see a list of all available commands by replying with
!help.Does this make BAT kind of absolete ? :)
In the STEEM ecosystem, certainly :)
Very PC answer :))))
Looks easy enough for the non-techies among us (like me) to use. The only other service I use regularly is dustsweeper.
interesting thing on steemit to award the best authors : )
Great new tool, thanks for sharing that!
Maybe it was in the super long TL;DR section ;) but I missed the part when your budget gets paid out to the beneficiary. If you allocate 100 Steem to a certain user, does this get paid out every time they publish something, or every time you visit their blog, or...?

Every time they publish an article. And you allocate an entire budget to all your subscriptions, so all users you subscribe to will share the same pool.
Ah makes sense. Thank you!

That means even if I do not have SP to support my fav author, I can use tipu to do that. And can I subscribe to my own post

Thank you, @tipu, for the link.to the guide.
r we supposed to be 50/50 or 100 STEEM now... I've been hearing so much b.s. on both sides ??
what are you exactly referring to?
for the rewards
Looks like the display is in 50% SBD and 50% Steem Power. Later edit: in steem.supply as well, the reward ratio is 50% SBD and 50% Steem Power. It will be like this until SBD reaches 9% debt-to-ownership ratio.
also just read this: "The common mistake folks make is thinking that as long as SBD is worth more than Steem they should 50/50. Actually, it doesn’t matter what the price of Steem is, it only matters if SBD is over or under a dollar. Over a dollar =50/50 better. Under a dollar = 100% SP better."
@clumsysilverdad, That is correct. The best way to calculate the difference is to convert everything into STEEM.
I don't follow this, TBH. The dynamic between SBD and STEEM is that 1 SBD is $1 worth of STEEM, so it will always be tied to STEEM.
if 1 SBD = $1 and 1 STEEM = $0.5, then getting all the rewards 50/50 will actually give you 2 STEEM for 1 SBD.
if 1 SBD = $1 and 1STEEM = $2, then you will get 0.5 STEEM for a post which gives $1 gains
